Hey Folks. Wondering if some OC'ing pros can give me some advice over here.
So here in the picture which I've posted along with this question, you can see the results from a 5 minute and 55 minute stress test. I have ran AIDA64 for 8 Hours and it was all gravy but this is just to give you an idea of what I'm on about here.
As you can see, at 100% load, my temps sit around the 60 mark, sometimes jumping to 70~ and even dropping to sub 50.
But this is where it gets weird. I'm using a Z170 Pro Gaming Aura. With this Mobo, I downloaded the Asus AI Suite 3. I never used it to do an OC though. I only OC'd through the BIOS / UEFI.
Thing is, I struggled to get 4.7 GHz Stable OC on my 6700k unless I upped the Core Voltage to 1.42v. Which seems damn high to me.
When I was doing stress tests with AI Suite installed, my temps would hit the high 70's, maybe even break 80+.
I've just uninstalled it, which was a pain in the butt in itself, and now when I look at the VID Voltage in HWMonitor, the voltage never went above 1.39v and mainly stayed around 1.35v.
I'd heard people around the "internet" say that AI Suite can over step the need of it's voltage and some others have said it can cause instability at lower Voltages.
I know this is probably hard to understand and I could've worded it better but is this a sign that ASUS' AI Suite is gimping our OC's and I can now safely reduce my core voltage that it's uninstalled?
And also, are these temps considered "good" for a 6700k OC'd to 4.7GHz. I've attached links which show temps at idle, load for 5 mins and load for 55 mins.
Cheers all, I appreciate any and all constructive feedback!
P.S - The cooler I'm using is a H100i in push/pull config, all Corsair SP120's. The PSU I'm using is a EVGA 850w P2 and I am using 2 braided cable extensions on the Graphics Card (8 Pin + 6 Pin) and 24 Pin extension for the Mobo.
